Question: I posted a thread (reaper.fm) that packaging reaper for the Store on W10 is not a technical complication. Can we expect to see Reaper in the Windows (Microsoft) Store? Dont you think students access to Reaper even if they're on 10S is a good idea?

    Choosing whether to participate in an entirely different ecosystem is a complex decision, and I don't think you can unequivocally say that there is no technical complication.

    27" at 2560x1440 is pretty nice... a second monitor for debug output can be nice, but not a big deal.

Question: I'm about to write a small Win32 program which needs MP4 video playback. What library do you recommend?
Asked by Rodrigo (177.204.35.x) on April 30 2017, 7:27pm
Reply on May 1 2017, 2:47am:
    Unfortunately there's really no good solution that I can recommend. There is a Win8+ API for MP4 decoding, but I don't think it's very straightforward to use, and you can use FFmpeg, but it's also very not straightforward. I'd probably recommend the latter, though.

    For the most part it seems you're trading one attack vector for another... Ideally you should find a provider that you trust and use them, or VPN through them.

    SSL browsing of course helps things a lot -- so your ISP can see what site you're browsing but not which pages, etc.
